I see theres been few posts lately from beginners my advice is just deposit £5 a week just have fun its so much harder nowadays to make money with people using the internet watching channel 865 etc i started playing years ago when game was easier but for me personally if i didnt know how to play the game and started now i would just play for bit of fun i mean u spend money on a ps3 game but if u get more excitement playing poker then go for it bet small win big i mean u cant expect to win but aslong as u enjoy it all that matters any 1 else agree

As with anything where I'm putting my own money on the line - only spend what you can afford to lose.

For some that will be £5.00 for others it might be £5,000.00

The important thing is make sure you enjoy it, don't expect to win every time and keep working on improving your game or alternatively donk all your chips off to me

It's still very possible for new players entering the game to progress quickly and become profitable IMO

Yeah definitely agree with Sly. I don't think it's fair to say new players will never be able to come along and crush it... I know you didn't say that but seems like that's the message reading between the lines.

The game should definitely always be fun, but I'd say it's perfectly acceptable to believe someone could start the game and not take long to be a break even player, and what's better than having a free hobby?

exatcly free tourneys £5 a week on something u enjoy sounds fun to me and nothing better then having a deep run in a tourney no matter what the prize money is the feeling of making a final table is great beats a ps3 poker game which costs u £30 and win nothing

missed hes 25/1 shot other day won at 5/1 yeah skint cant do this bankroll nit lark just play for fun nowd with a deposit now n then amount of time i spin up £20 into £200 is alot but always take shots then lose the lot lol

If you spin £20 into £200 so often, just do that twice a week and you got a decent wage

Whats better...

being disciplined and having a roll, no matter how small, and being able to play a game of poker 24/7

or 'taking shots' and going broke and then having to wait for the next freeroll or for when you can next make a deposit.

it is nice to see that you play poker just for fun tho....however if it was just purely for fun and the money didn't matter then I doubt you would have the tendency to 'take shots'
